Thread: CNC Router New Build
Threaded View
-
21-05-2013 #9I have worked up the final drawings and going with Jazz's approach on the use of 80x40 heavy extrusions
Perhaps I will have to have HIWIN on the Z and build in some upgrade paths for HIWIN on X and Y in the future if I find the machine needs it.
20mm plate for the gantry sides.have been built this way and work fine but to me it is a very inefficient way too do it. The gantry sides are the final link in the chain of transmitting force to the ground so really need to be treated as beams/columns. I would go for using 4040 extrusion with 6mm plates either side, probably the same weight but much stiffer. Again I'm not criticising using plate, it just not the way I would do it.
